NETTING-OANOPY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 28, 1905.

Application filed August 5, 1904. Serial No. 219,616.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IsAAC E. PALMER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Middletown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and of the canopy.

A further object is to provide a nettingcanopy having self-contained reinforcements along its top and side edges formed by meeting walls of the canopy for causing the canopy to retain its shape when in use and also to do away with the necessity of separate material for reinforcing the top of the canopy.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents my improved nettingcanopy in perspective. detail view of a portion of the fabric, showing the fabric provided with a woven reinforcement in that portion which is to extend along either one ofthe side or top edges of the canopy. Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic view showing the fabric at its woven reinforcement turned over and stitched once upon itself along one of the edges of the canopy. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the fabric at its woven reinforced portion turned over twice and stitched upon itself. Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the fabric at its woven reinforced portion turned over three times and stitched upon itself. Fig. 6 is a plan view of a plain fabric without any woven reinforcement. Fig. 7 is a detail view showing a reinforcement along one of the edges of the canopy by turning the fabric over twice and stitching upon itself. Fig. 8 is a similar view Fig. 2 is an enlarged showing the fabric turned over three times and stitched upon itself; and Fig. 9 is a plan view of the fabric, showing horizontal and vertical reinforcements woven therein for strengthening the fabric along the top and side edges of the canopy.

The netting fabric is denoted by 1. The top wall of the canopy is denoted by 2, and the side walls of the canopy by 3. The horizontal top edges formed by the meeting side and top walls are denoted by 4 and the vertical side edges formed by the meeting side walls by 5.

The reinforcements along the horizontal and vertical edges formed by the meeting walls of the canopy may be made in various ways. For instance, the fabric may be turned over one or more times and stitched upon itself to form a reinforcement, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, or the fabric may have a woven reinforcement 6 therein, as shown in Fig. 2, which reinforcements may be turned over one or more times and-stitched upon itself, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5.

In Fig. 9 I have shown the fabric 1 as provided with a horizontal woven reinforcement 7 for forming the reinforcement along the top edges of the canopy and vertical woven reinforcements 8 for forming the reinforced side edges of the canopy.

What I claim as my invention is A netting-canopy having a woven reinforcement integral with the fabric, the said reinforcement being turned over and stitched upon itself along the edges formed by meeting walls of the canopy.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this'30th day of July,

. ISAAC E. PALMER. Witnesses:
